N1012A Datasheet, PDF (2/11 Pages) Keysight Technologies – N1012A OIF CEI 3.1 Compliance

Introduction
Rapidly increasing worldwide demand for video and data transfer is placing
new requirements for network expansion. Designers are creating innovative
network elements that allow up to 100 Gb/s, which will be delivered using
four lanes of 25-28 Gb/s. Extra challenges abound when transferring these
signals on printed circuit boards, even for short distances. The Implemen-
tation Agreement for Optical Internetworking Forum Common Electrical
Interface (OIF CEI) specifies the tests and limits for these devices.
These parameters can take a full day when characterized manually, and
the recalculation of factors and CTLE values adds to the time the designer
spends on testing. Keysight Technologies, Inc. has created the N1012A OIF
CEI 3.1 Compliance and Debug Application for you to simplify measurement
of these transmitter parameters and to obtain full results to test limits in a
few minutes. This will keep you focused on getting your products to market
knowing that your results are built on the heritage and consistency of Key-
sight measurement technology.
Easy-to-use compliance
application that enables
you to:
–– Quickly set up equipment and
make transmitter measure-
ments
–– Test your device to compliance
or chosen limits
–– Debug your device using cus-
tom configurations
–– Remove effects of cables and
fixtures
–– Automatically determine opti-
mal value of CTLE Peaking
–– Generate reports to share with
others
